A strong enough side so we don't get too embarrassed but ensuring were ready for the big one on Saturday will do for me
Agree. I’d take a 4-1 defeat at this moment. (Though at 7:45 Wednesday I’ll be thinking otherwise)It would be good to get a goal, even if it's only to break our scoreless streak and get a bit of confidence in front of goal ahead of Saturday.....

Let's be realistic here. If it's 0-2 or better I'd be ecstatic...

If you’d be ‘ecstatic’ I’d hate to see what would happen if we won!
Well it was 3 0 last year and we are a much better side now.Anything better than a 0-5 trouncing will be nice

Don’t want to risk ANY injuries, and Brannagan played 80mins in his first game back for a long time on Saturday, so give him a cameo from the bench, and give Baptiste a run out for 70mins.
Sykes has been underperforming for a while, but had a great game against West Ham, so give him another run out, with Henry struggling, and other injuries, it’s not like we’ve got much choice anyway.
As much as I’m desperate for us to win, the league has to take priority, and protecting players returning from injury is a must.
Can’t wait to stick it to those Premiership ponces though!
COYY
I'd like to see Agyei start as a winger in front of Cadden, give the two of them a chance to show what they can do. I also doubt anyone will be able to stop Cam starting! He sounds really fired up and confident that we can win. Just what we need on the pitch, confidence.
risking a Woosh ... gate money share and tv money , no prize money in the League cup till the semi final, so no prize moneyWhat is this Cup tie worth to United? Could Hartlepool be worth more? Sounds ridiculous, I know.
